Chicago is the source of almost 99 per cent of all the divorces which the mills of many courts here grind out annually couples by the thousands rush through betrothal into matrimony there succeeds a frenzy of flat hunt ing the lease is signed and before the lease has expired in many cases the divorce'has been granted the husband and the wife tire of each other before they tire of the wall paper in tiie living room they quar rel with each other before they quar rel with the janitor and if they survive the first moving day then theirs is that astonishing union called the happy marriage figures indicating this condition of affairs were compiled yesterday by patrick j j mccarthy in charge of the marriage and divorce bureau of statistics for cook county he took by way of example the first four months of 1914 suits handled rapidivx in that period the number of di vorce or separation suits filed in the circuit and superior courts was 1,970 these suits are handled rap idly no fewer than 1,247 of the 1,970 already have be-en heard and disposed of and out of the 1,247 couples whose cases were heard it was found only seventeen were the owners of the homes they lived in the rest were almost exclusively flat dwellers half of them were so poor the wives did not even find it worth while to ask alimony they were an army of unhappy uncongenial fur niture-installment paying husbands and wives wanting nothing except freedom from their mutual ties having no permanent homes their marriages also were without perma nence and they found the marriage contract easier to break than their leases the relationship between tenant and landlord is comparatively a solid thing the statistics compiled by mr mc carthy cast a vivid spotlight on the relationship between city life and home life or rather on the lack of such a relationship of the 1,247 sample divorce cases cited by mr mccarthy thirty-two of the couples were married at crown point ind and twenty-six at st joseph mich most of these it was assumed were elopements for st joseph and crown point are the places where Chicago couples deciding at midnight that they want to be married immediately find justices of the peace whose motto is prompt service at all hours a total of fifty-eight of the di vorces then may have been the re sult of too much hast-e in the race to the altar but fifty-eight is so small a fraction of 1,247 that indiana and michigan are not shown as ma jor causes of the Chicago divorce evil desertion main cause city life shows as a cause more frequently than all others three times out of four it was the wife who complained in mr mccarthy's sample cases three times out of four also the cause named in the bill was desertion of the 1,247 couples 482 couples gave'up theif*"dr"eams of tionie life in the first year of their marriage in the second and third years 260 more couples separated the rest strug gled along for longer periods but finally yielded only 459 couples of the 1,247 had children most of the divorces were uncon tested the record j)f 452 consecu tive cases trie'd by one superior court judge shows only sixteen â€” about 5 per cent were contested among causes of divorce desertion is the leader at the rate of three to one cruelty is second and drunk enness third these are only the le gal charges figuring the whole year on the basis of the figures we already have said mr mccarthy there will be about 5,500 divorce decrees granted this year in cook county and only about.soo other cases will be dis missed because of reconciliation or an order of court for want of equity personally i

indicating this condition of affairs were compiled yesterday by patrick j j mccarthy in charge of the marriage and divorce bureau of statistics for cook county he took by way of example the first four months of 1914 suits handled rapidivx in that period the number of di vorce or separation suits filed in the circuit and superior courts was 1,970 these suits are handled rap idly no fewer than 1,247 of the 1,970 already have be-en heard and disposed of and out of the 1,247 couples whose cases were heard it was found only seventeen were the owners of the homes they lived in the rest were almost exclusively flat dwellers half of them were so poor the wives did not even find it worth while to ask alimony they were an army of unhappy uncongenial fur niture-installment paying husbands and wives wanting nothing except freedom from their mutual ties having no permanent homes their marriages also were without perma nence and they found the marriage contract easier to break than their leases the relationship between tenant and landlord is comparatively a solid thing the statistics compiled by mr mc carthy cast a vivid spotlight on the relationship between city life and home life or rather on the lack of such a relationship of the 1,247 sample divorce cases cited by mr mccarthy thirty-two of the couples were married at crown point ind and twenty-six at st joseph mich most of these it was assumed were elopements for st joseph and crown point are the places where Chicago couples deciding at midnight that they want to be married immediately find justices of the peace whose motto is prompt service at all hours a total of fifty-eight of the di vorces then may have been the re sult of too much hast-e in the race to the altar but fifty-eight is so small a fraction of 1,247 that indiana and michigan are not shown as ma jor causes of the Chicago divorce evil desertion main cause city life shows as a cause more frequently than all others three times out of four it was the wife who complained in mr mccarthy's sample cases three times out of four also the cause named in the bill was desertion of the 1,247 couples 482 couples gave'up theif*"dr"eams of tionie life in the first year of their marriage in the second and third years 260 more couples separated the rest strug gled along for longer periods but finally yielded only 459 couples of the 1,247 had children most of the divorces were uncon tested the record j)f 452 consecu tive cases trie'd by one superior court judge shows only sixteen â€” about 5 per cent were contested among causes of divorce desertion is the leader at the rate of three to one cruelty is second and drunk enness third these are only the le gal charges figuring the whole year on the basis of the figures we already have said mr mccarthy there will be about 5,500 divorce decrees granted this year in cook county and only about.soo other cases will be dis missed because of reconciliation or an order of court for want of equity personally i
